June 1, 2009 at 1:02 pm by Sheri1 million moms can call for mandatory labeling and safety testing of GE (genetically modified or GMO) foods.
Scientists warn that GE foods may set off allergies, increase cancer risks, produce antibiotic-resistant pathogens, damage our food quality and produce dangerous toxins in our environment.
1 million moms can tell our representatives that because they have not been tested, all GE food should be taken off the market until proven safe.
1 million moms can make a difference!

@Sheri, since your 2009 post, has there been any MomsRising email action on mandatory labeling of GE (GMO) foods?

@Marian, not that I know of.
There is a lot going on right now in California – there’s a ballot initiative in the works. LabelGMOs.org you can also find us on Facebook, Label GMOs & GMO Free Southern California.
Also see Organic Consumers website, the Millions Against Monsanto page.

May 28, 2009 at 3:28 pm by BiblioMomYou really are right that this is an unprecedented opportunity for moms to have their collective voices heard. Think about it: has there been a chance to move forward on things like paycheck fairness since the second big wave of the women’s movement in the 1960s-70s? I don’t think so.
And Anita’s comment to ask 4 friends to join MomsRising and then we’d be 5 million strong–think what that could do for moms, women, kids, and families. “Rising” indeed.

1 million moms could click on just ONE MomsRising email action per week– and generate 1 million emails weekly, supporting policies that help all caregivers.
